Wii 2 Rumour: Project Cafe Tech Specs Leak Online

The tech specs for Nintendo’s much rumoured Wii 2, or Project Cafe as it is know, have supposedly leaked online. There has been many rumours circulating over the past few months regarding the successor to Wii.

The tech specs were posted to a NeoGAF forum thread and are said to be an internal document from Nintendo. While the specifications are not mind-blowing, they represent quite the jump for Nintendo, and if true, the main thing that will excite gamers has to be the 1080p output, which is one of the biggest shortfalls of the current Wii console.

The tech specs for the Wii 2/Project Cafe are as follows:
